I admit - I jumped straight to 7th child procedures (minus the hitchhiking) for my only child. hit em hard, hit em fast, was my policy! Fortunately it hasn't been a recurring problem for a boy with...

Might I suggest DO NOT do the "with only one child, spend a fortune on an electric comb that will shatter when it hits the bathroom floor the first time it is used"
View ArticleRe: Natural progression?
Instead of an electric comb I'd get a hair straightener. fries the living daylights out of them and you can use it yourself for styling. And it shouldn't smash on first use!

Thanks for the tips, we were with a child yesterday that I suspect has headlice. I managed to escape them as a child and also with DS. I know I won't be so lucky with the two girls. I hope after all...

lol! I'm in Clancy's camp. Though I do sometimes use the natural stuff because a Choice report claims that it's equally effective as the chemicals. And in some areas lice have developed immunity to...

That sucks, Mary. We've been very lucky and haven't had any for about 6 months or so. It seems to happen less as they get older. Even though my dd still refuses to tie her long hair up at school.

Never got to the Chemists - DS freaked out by what he called a giant headlice - it wasn't - it was a click beetle on his pillow ( courtesy of the split in the flyscreen!) The following day I used...

Make sure you check again a few more times, Mary - I once had someone said they had done their child once "so they were fine" - she hadn't done her own (long, red, curly - would have been frankly a...

I never even check. I cannot see nits in my child's hair. So I treat when I see any scratching. And I always do both my and her hair. No combing, just lotion and/or shampoo and always repeat after 7...

Yes Soph, checking every few days - and checked my own hair, albeit twisting and turning in front of the mirror! DS17 was overjoyed when I preened him as he continued to play his online computer...
